Windows 10: How do I make the start screen the default when first logging in

Nope. Mine is set on 1 but i still have to use the method I posted

 

@ NavyLCDR if you set to Tablet Mode, the system boots to the Windows 10 Start Screen

 

It unfortunately doesn't. I have it always in tablet mode as I own a Windows TabletPC and I always have to click on the *Start button to get into the start menu at boot.

 

I tried your workaround, wzor. It does work, but I am impatient and I like to start working on the computer asap and I find myself thinking, "Come on....come on....let's go" before it switches to the start menu

Thank you, yes, I did try that. Unfortunately with Tablet Mode I don't like losing the ability to size and move windows around . You would think an option like which screen you want when you sign in would be something Microsoft would have left in. Of the 5 computer users in my family, 2 want the start menu and 3 want the desktop.

That's weird, when I set the settings to start in tablet mode, my laptop boots into the start menu right away. Then, in fact, I haven't figured out how to get to the desktop in tablet mode

 

I can't explain why it doesn't for you.

My system will boot to the Windows 10 start screen.

 

That's the start menu.. not the old start screen from WIn8 days.

 

Mine doesn't... hmmm... well it doesn't bother me at least. *Smile And the delay can be frustrating, I know.

 

Very Funny. tomatoes tomatos. If it boots to a screen, whatever you want to call it, it is a start screen.

 

btw, unless someone can confirm that the menu in whatever form, is Win32 code,
based on the semantic zoom feature, and tiles / app integration,
the NEW windows 10 start menu is nothing more than an updated METRO UI. (WinRT)

 

The only way I can think that you might be able to do that is if you get the registry keys that cause the Start screen to show and put them in the default user profile's ntuser.dat. That would (potentially) make it the default setting for new users, unless there is some new-user process that runs to undo the setting.

 

The start menu is Metro code, not Win32 code. You're right.

 

Settings, system, Tablet mode on, when I sign in automatically switch to tablet mode...dont ask me and always switch
Settings, personalization, start, on, on, on, on, on, choose which folders... on, on, on off etc.

 

Yup, tablet mode for persistence.

Registry key for startup.

Or put this code in a .vbs file and have it run on startup. (It sends a Windows Key press!)

Code: set wshShell=wscript.createobject("wscript.shell") wshShell.sendkeys "^{ESC}" set wshShell=nothing[/quote]

No, it's called Start and when full screen it's the Start screen. *Haha

 

This is a funny thread - I like arrows, reminds me of Alice's Restaturant *Wink




It's always called Start in Win10 though
it has an All apps list, a frequently used folder list, and a Frequently used app screen.
Answering NavyLCDR ... there used to be a setting in Taskbar propertites that did exactly that - sign-in to Start or Sign-in to Desktop. That came from Win8 and MS removed it in Win10

I suspect that option will reappear on some setting category (Personalize > Start maybe *Wink ) soon after Launch.

 

I have my computer set to boot with out putting in password ,,,and it boots right to tablet mode screen if it set it at that ,


seems like a lot of fuss ,when all you have to do is hit the windows key when the computer boots to get to the start menu screen
